Quotation software

Quotation software

Didn't find your answer?

Came across this last week:

http://quickeasyquote.co.uk/

Just wondered whether anyone is using it?

I signed up to a test account and did a few dummy quotes.

I thought the quotes provided for basic compliance work - accounts/CT600/annual return were sensible.

However the quotes given to include bookkeeping seemed way off the mark especially for smaller businesses <£100k turnover.

Some of the add on costs seemed either too high - quarterly business consultancy or far too low - P11d.

not used it

I looked at something like this years ago. Eventually, probably like you, I just ended up knowing from umpteen previous quotes/clients what the price for a job should be.

What do you see as the advantage? Are you intending to delegate this process?

No plans

to use it at the moment, I thought I'd take a look to see how detailed it was and how it built the quote up. 

My view and probably that of many others (sole practitioners) is that a price quote can be both subjective and objective - that can't be reflected if you use this type of approach and delegate quotes.

I'm quite happy how I quote at the moment but I was just interested to see how it worked and to hear what experience others may have had

Yes

if you're a small practitioner.

Mind you - if it means you put your fees up you'd get the investment back fairly quickly.

Cheap if you see it as an alternative to AVN's fee quote software (before anyone starts I know I'm not comparing apples with apples)

Cheap if you're a high volume practice and want several staff to be able to quote.

@kent
It looks handy but as Andy says a bit steep for your one man band.

Plus it looks to rigid and doesn't allow "tweaking" at the end result.

Could none of the tech nods knock up something similar in excel.

Investment???

I see they describe the cost as an investment. I can't stand it when salesmen do that.

Excel

I have tried a few of these types of quotation software (not this one though) and I have found it's better to build your own spreadsheet where you can flex and have as many inputs as you like and then create a nice clean PDF as an output

Wrong Pricing Model for Me

For a pricing model it operates its own wrong pricing model.

Whilst it is useful it is a simple piece of software and just a step up from Excel.

If you could buy it for £99 or similar I would have it. I dont get the monthly fee of £30 its not like it needs updating all the time etc.

Unless you just paid for 1 month rattled all your quotes out for the year then stopped it.
